Delay in new “.mystagingwebsite.com” domains

UPDATE: 19:16 UTC everything back to normal

UPDATE: 19:06 UTC services appear to be restored, we are in the process of creating “mystagingwebsite.com” sub-domain entries that failed to create during the outage.

We are aware of a delay that is impacting the creation of sub-domains on the “mystagingwebsite.com” domain for newly created sites. This issue is due to an API outage at our upstream DNS provider. More details will be posted here as they become available.

Slow Load Times on Some Sites

RESOLVED @ 1:25PM CDT:  All sites are now loading as expected.

We are actively investigating an issue that is causing slow load times on some customers’ sites. We will update this post with more information as soon as it becomes available.

Investigating outage

RESOLVED @ 8:33AM CST: Things have been stable for more than 8 hours. The root cause of the incident does appear to be a spike in traffic to our servers which caused a rather ungraceful failure of a couple load balancers.  We’ve identified some issues that will help prevent this scenario in the future and will be implementing them over the next few days.

UPDATE @ 12:18AM CST:  All sites continue to operate normally.  We will continue to monitor things throughout the evening.  Our initial findings show that this incident was most likely caused by an abnormal spike in traffic toward Pressable’s servers.

We are currently investigating an outage affecting a percentage of the sites on the Pressable platform.  Currently, everything is back up and operating as expected.  The partial outage lasted from around 11:00 Central to 11:30 Central time.  Once we have more information, we will update this post.

Service Interruption

RESOLVED @ 3:22pm CST: The network issues have been resolved and everything is online at this time. We continue to investigate the root cause with our provider.

3:19pm CST: There is currently a problem with our hosting provider which is affecting all Pressable-hosted websites. We are actively troubleshooting the issue and will update this post with more details as they are available.
